Campus Missions in the Episcopal Diocese of Texas are missional outposts that aspire to create fertile environments for discipleship, leadership development, service, and community engagement among and with students at various university and college campuses in the diocese.
Connect a Student with a Campus Mission
Do you know a student transitioning into their next chapter in life? Provide us with some basic information, and we’ll do our best to connect them to an Episcopal campus mission or community.
Partnering with the Diocese to support Campus Missions
The Episcopal Diocese of Texas has an annual goal to increase the number of college and university campuses we serve within our diocesan boundaries. To reach this goal, the Mission Amplification office of the Diocese partners with congregations that share the mission of spreading the gospel through our collective support of campus missions. If you want to explore partnering with the diocese to support or start a campus mission, contact the Rev. Alex Montes-Vela at amontes-vela@epicenter.org.
